false 5797595 2 Eff was born a thirteenth child. Her twin brother, Lan, is the seventh son of a seventh son. This means he's supposed to possess amazing talent -- and she's supposed to bring only bad things to her family and her town. Undeterred, her family moves to the frontier, where her father will be a professor of magic at a school perilously close to the magical divide that separates settlers from the beasts of the wild. <p> With wit and wonder, Patricia Wrede creates an alternate history of westward expansion that will delight fans of both J. K. Rowling and Laura Ingalls Wilder. 5969561 book 15 4 2009 Thirteenth Child total:415|5:64|4:186|3:125|2:36|1:4| 415 1515 1257 165 0 3 false false Sun Mar 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 02:15:28 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 04:19:20 -0700 2009
